KARACHI: Senior politician and disgruntled Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan leader Dr Farooq Sattar on Monday alleged that the MQM-P chose federal ministries over the people of Karachi and became part of a cabinet decision that approved controversial National Census-2017.
Speaking at a press conference, Dr Sattar urged MQM-P convener Dr Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui to quit the ministries and take to the streets against the controversial decision and he, as well as Pak Sarzameen Party chairman Mustafa Kamal, would support him.
“Khalid bhai, do not commit this injustice with the people of Karachi for the sake of a few people. Save Karachi instead of your ministries,” he said, adding that the MQM-P feared that some of its people would get arrested as soon as they left the ruling coalition.
